PARK DESCRIPTION - This is a very large, sprawling urban park with all the usual trappings, a football stadium, multiple baseball fields, playgrounds, swimming pool, community center, tennis courts, basketball courts, picnic shelters and so much more.

VARIETY - Actually, it's more open than many then many of Atlanta's courses but still qualifies as a wooded course. There might be a couple of holes that could be called technical but most are just city park type throws through this urban wooded landscape.

ELEVATION - There is a minimum amount sloping terrain on a couple of holes. Mostly, I would call this a wooded park style course. very old school feel to it.

CHALLENGE - Depending on the tee played, it seems the challenge can range from recreational up to and including intermediate. Does that sound like almost every other Atlanta 18 that I've recently played?

EQUIPMENT - Besides the world's largest course sign, Rosewood-DeKalb has some vintage Mach III's which are definitely hard to spot in these woods especially compared to the yellow banded Discatchers that most ever other Atlanta course uses. The tee pads are concrete and possibly a little on the short side for some players. There are benches at most every hole, a few next tee signs and maybe a few trash cans. Many tee signs are old and faded and all have a hole name on the sign such as # 5's Humpty Dumpy.

AESTHETICS - It's not a showcase piece like Little Mulberry but considering the neighborhood it's in, there are no signs of vandalism, not much litter and some real evidence that someone (local club) is working hard to keep this course clean and well maintained. Although there was a boatload of activity (little league football, baseball games, a music festival complete with food stands) going on the Sunday afternoon I played, other than the nearby noise and music (or maybe I should call it noise and noise), I still felt isolated a safe in the woods.

FUN FACTOR - For me, without the wonderful hilly terrain, water and natural beauty of many of the area's courses, I felt the fun factor here was a step down. It was fine and if I lived close, I'd be playing here often but I'd rather have all those courses up north as my go-to courses.

ROUTING/NAVIGATION - The course starts right by the tennis courts. There is the world's largest course sign here at the beginner. # 1 tee then plays into the large grassy area for two holes before then heading into and remaining in the woods for the remainder of the course.

SATETY CONCERNS - Holes 2 & 3 were not playable as there were scads of youth football players playing pick-up games all across those two fairways. No problem to just skip ahead and head to # 4. As I was just getting ready to start my round, a young man about 16 and his mother came off the course and were a little shook. He had apparently winged a local with a drive and they had called off his round and were leaving.



Older baskets are hard to spot.

Tee signs are on the older side, too.

Sometimes, I think we're a little spoiled as a society when functional isn't good enough and we need our things to be new, shiny, trendy and the very latest in design. The baskets, tee pads and signs here are all workable and functioning. It's like if you have last year's I-phone and now need to replace it with this year's model. Thank you. End of old man's rant. And yes, as a matter of fact, I did walk 5 miles up hill both ways to school every day.

The course is mostly flat. There's no water other than the small creek.

The course just has this retro 90's feel. Everything about it kind of takes me back to disc golf's earlier times when we used the PDGA directory and paper maps to chase down our courses and the tee pads were smaller, the baskets were almost all totally grey and the signs were the old school fiberglass ones. There were no park signs pointing to the disc golf course and we weren't being mentioned on a Chicago Cubs broadcast and there were no major league ball players discussing disc golf on the Jim Rome show. Finding and playing a course with any type of a basket was a thrill.

End of old man's second rant in this preview. This is a personal record for the Valkyrie Kid.

And yes, this is another example of my Atlanta 18 tweeners. Rosewood-DeKalb would rank on the lower end of these tweener 18's based on it's challenge but it's still a 3.0 rated course in my book.

Mostly wooded course but not too technical. Since its established the trees are older and out of the way, but still make you shape your shots on most holes.

It was good to see obviously new bridges, new signs, and work being done to keep the course not only playable, but better. There were new tables too and signs that groups do play and congregate here, we just didn't see any.

The people I played with had been there before & said you could definitely see the changes there for the better. They also said some afternoons after work it can be busy depending on the day.

Tee pads were all fine and didn't seem cramped as most holes aren't that long. Usually several benches at each hole as well.

Multiple pin placements & on the day we played they all seemed like they were in the longest/most difficult areas which we enjoyed

Pin placement takes advantage of the terrain on most holes and helps to keep things interesting

The feel of the course was just that of an out of the way park, tucked away and not used much, even though its well known. On the day we played we pretty much had it to ourselves and were in & out in about 75 mins.

A little more maintenance would help, but like I mentioned you can tell the course is being taken care of. There is some debris from old bridges and some minor trash, but overall you can see signs of the caretakers.

Next tee signs are there, usually on trees, but with some of the longer pin placements you may have to backtrack on a few holes

Some type of pin placement indicator would be nice, but we walked a short distance to scout & could usually make out the baskets fairly easily.

A paint job on the baskets themselves to make them stand out more would help in this area as well.

Different areas to tee off on some of the holes where space permits, would help increase the challenge & variety

Have been wanting to play this course for a while, but the times I've planned to make the trip, something always came up. I'm glad I finally did though as its an enjoyable course and you can see the care that's been taken to keep it up and even make things better. I will be back again now that I know what the course is like and will be interested to see any changes.

An oldie but a goodie.

-Amenities: Not great, but okay. Concrete tees are thin but long, tee signs (which I think are in the process of being replaced one-by-one) have a decent map showing all pin placements, baskets are Mach III's (decide for yourself how you feel), practice basket sits near the first tee.

-Variety: As I was typing this out, I was going to divide Redan into open, mostly open, and wooded portions, but then as I attempted to do so I realized that you can't, because its 18 holes range on a continuum from wide open to needle-thin. It's a refreshing mix where open holes come just when you can't take another tree trunk and wooded holes come just when you're about to melt in the Georgia sunshine.

-Environment: Redan has the air of a pleasant, established course, much like some of the oldest courses I've played. The woods aren't so thick that you'll feel lost, but they're green and pleasant. The fairways are well-worn enough to be easy footing while still not being mud.

-Shot Shaping/Gameplay: A shorter treat for recreational and intermediate players. Redan specializes in technical par-3s with multiple options and creative lines, but thrown in are some more open holes where 300' of distance with a controlled finish will do you well. The mix of straight, left, right, bent, and pocket fairways is superb. One par-4 is a good addition. On a choice few holes, the baskets are on hills to add to the challenge. The long pins especially are fun to go with a shot and then either scramble or feel very rewarded if you're parked. With a mix of short and long, you get to alternate fun birdies with more demanding par-3s.

-Rec-Friendly: As a newer player, this was a great course to learn on. The rough wasn't too terrible, but thick enough that I had to figure out control. The holes were long enough that I had to try driving, but not so long that I was always struggling for par.

-Maintenance: From what I gather, the only maintenance that gets done is all volunteers from the DG community (big kudos). Many of the tee signs are faded, the tees are small, and sometimes there's longer grass than you'd like. It would be nice to see the tee signs uniformly upgraded to include pin placement indicators and the baskets maybe swapped for something newer.

-Par-55: A lot of par-3s. Too many for an ideal course, in my mind. Is the fun factor of an easy birdie still fun when that's all you get? To me, that's like eating too much candy in a row.

-Pin Variability: With all long pins, I think I'd give Redan a 3.5. As is, some of the short pins are just boring. It's a predicament some other courses have where you don't know what you'll get until you're there.

-Neighborhood: A lot of reviews note the neighborhood. I have never found it problematic, and I imagine it will gain a more aristocratic feel when the new subdivision across the street is finished. Nonetheless, having heard stories of shots being fired and cars broken into, I feel as if I should include a warning sentence here for a visitor to be smart.

From what I can discern on DGCR, Redan is the oldest course in GA that still has its original layout. It's a good one, but like most old courses suffers from limited length. Nonetheless, it's a blast of a birdie-fest well-beloved by many in Atlanta and worth a visit for an easier round for a visitor.

(3.285 Rating) AKA Redan, this old school wooded and park style course has survived the test of time.
- CHALLENGING - I was expecting this course to be a heavy dose of recreational challenges. Although that is the case for many pin placements, baskets are rotated around to more challenging locations quite often with some that I'd say are Advanced level caliber. For example on my play, holes (5), (13) and (17) were all in the long placement and required 375-foot power while also shaping the drive to finish a certain way. There are several wooded holes that require veteran precision or Houdini escape maneuvers to save par. I got a mix of front, middle and back placements for my appearance here and it felt like an Intermediate level course to me. I think 900 rated players will average even par or so.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - I scored this aspect a 3 out of 5. Once I got to hole (5), I started to fall in love with this course as the layout basically stayed in the woods the entire time. I can tell this is an older park because the wooded portions have 100 foot plus tall oaks, pines and poplars. There's also a couple mini creeks snaking around the layout too. I kind-of wish it came into play more often. I did notice a few areas of excess trash while on the course though.
- VARIETY - Mostly an all par 3 layout. A few holes in the beginning are rather open, but after (4) it's mostly technical woods play with a few park style holes mixed in. A decent amount of distance variation. There are a few sub 200-foot ace runs and several upper 300s to 400 foot bomb plays. Hole (15) I thought was the only legit par 4 and I wish it had a few more of them. As noted above, there is a small creek in play a few times and there's some modest 20 to 25-foot gentle sloping terrain on a few holes.
- NAVIGATION - Decent. The signage was probably top-of-the-line twenty years ago, but it needs to be replaced now. Several signs are faded and rusted, although a couple do look brand new. There are several large directional cues located on the layout, which helped a bunch at the few tricky spots. I did not see a course map posted anywhere onsite.
- TEE AREAS - Decent sized 4 by 12 foot concrete tees. I loved that nearly every tee had a bench to sit down at.
- FUN FACTOR - This seems like a course to experience as a group. Perfect for a wide variety of skill levels. Not cupcake and not pro level. There are birdies to be had and ace lines to stare down on some of the short placements. The harder placements will appeal to higher skilled players and typically won't be over punishing to mortals. I personally did a little searching on a couple bad ricochets, but it wasn't all doom and gloom. It's possible to lose a disc here, but more are likely left by accident than truly lost. It's not surprising to note that the course had numerous groups on it for my play on a weekday afternoon.

Needs an amenities overhaul and that's it.
- AMENITIES AND EXTRAS - The Mach III baskets I'm guessing are the originals from 1991. Wow did they once make some hearty near indestructible baskets back then. However, this is 2020, and they need an update. As noted above regarding the signage, it needs to be replaced too. I'm also kind of miffed as too why there is not a few extra long tees on the course were space is available. Such an easy way to change the way a hole plays and to increase the course appeal. The course needs placement indicators too as several placements are blind. Could use a course map posting too.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - I'm sure new players get brought here all the time, but this is not an ideal beginner's course imo. Too many trees for them too break-in plastic on. I don't take off points for this.
- PARKING - It's a bit of a walk to tee (1) from the parking area and even further away once finishing (18).
- TIME WAITING - A very popular course to my knowledge. Be prepared to wait during prime playing times.

There are some things I love about this course, but there are some head scratchers as well. A ratings 3.25 tweener in my book with the fun factor and overall vibe being the biggest key for me to place it on the higher end of that threshold. This really could be a solid 3.5 course if it would address the many fixable issues like signage, baskets and increased general maintenance. Among the Atlanta area courses I've played, I would not place Redan in the top tier, and perhaps not the second tier. It's not that Redan is not a good course, cause it is, it's just that Atlanta is loaded with high quality courses on sprawling beautiful landscapes. Players on their first road trip to the area should not be headed here unless they are staying here for several days. For those that live in the Atlanta metro area itself, you got to get a round in here at least once for the history aspect. For a course built in 1991, it's got to be one of the older ones in the area.
- TIME PLAY - 52 minutes for this quick solo.

Other than the fact that the course says Redan Park Disk Golf at the entrance there is nothing to be embarrassed about here. If we are honest this is all par 3s with the exception of maybe hole 15, but a fun layout with a good assortment of woods, open shots and fairly good for players of all skill levels.

The baskets are older, I think I mach 2s but they catch okay other than the fact that a harder putt will blow through.

Nice long teepads that are grippy even if they are a bit narrow.

Not a lot of longer holes, and the par listed on the signs is the softest I have ever seen. I played a completely forgettable round and it was -10 by those standards. I'll chose to believe it was the -3 I earned lol.

Baskets could use an update, but they aren't terrible.

The bridge over the creek was out in one place which made crossing a bit rough

Signs aren't inaccurate per se, but it's really hard to tell which placement the pin is if you can't see it from the pad.

It's one of the older courses in Ga and still holds up well to all but the most stringent of modern standards. No PDGA majors here but a great spot for a round and to introduce newer players.

This course is fantastic for all skill levels of players.
-All tee pads are paved and marked for distance
-Wide open fields for bombing throws along with technical play in wooded areas
-Slight elevation changes
-Multiple pin placements are offered
-Course is open year round
-Great flow of course
-Plenty of parking
-On the open holes, shade is provided at the tee box

-Course has several P4 which can easily be played as P3
-Some surrounding residents of the park like to ride their dirt bikes through the park
-Some holes have signs that need to be replaced
-Additional trash cans would be helpful

The course starts with a handful of open holes and then transitions into the woods so there's variety.

It's a shorter course so it's good for beginners, and the wooded holes add a moderate challenge and are mostly well designed.

Hole locations are well marked and it flows pretty well.

I've seen it be a little overgrown before, but as of 3/15/19 it's nicely maintained.

Usually not too busy so you can get some privacy (except on Saturday mornings when there's league play).

Some of the holes are missing tee signs (especially once you get into the woods), and some holes don't have numbered baskets so it can be a little confusing at points, especially on Hole 10 where it's very easy to assume that the 16th basket is the one you're aiming for since 10's basket is a bit tucked away.

There's some dense brush and thorns that could make it tricky to get your disc if you stray too far from the fairway - though I've yet to lose a disc there.

The Par 5 15th at one point had a lot of poison ivy growing by the basket but it's since been cleaned up. Just have to be wary of where you're stepping.

Overall I think this is a fun course, and it's pretty close to where I work so I've been there about 30+ times in the past year. I'm a bit of a beginner and I've learned a lot playing through this course since I can practice my open-field drives on the first several holes, and then my precision and navigation once you get into the forest.

It might be a bit too short for more experienced players, and I know many players play the first several holes as Par 3's instead of 4's like they're listed, but some of the wooded holes require a little creativity.

Has practice basket

Has an open area to practice on upshots and driving

Has concrete tee pads

Has most tee signs with locations of the various basket placements

Multiple basket placements on every hole

Has many benches and trash cans throughout course

Good mix of open and wooded fairways with some doglegs

Course flows pretty good

Water comes into play on some holes but they aren't really a factor in losing a disc

Aside from the tennis court that is hardly used, park is exclusive for disc golf and you won't see other parkgoers

Free parking

Missing tee signs for a few holes

Baskets are old and can be hard to locate from tees and most are missing numbers

No variety in pars - par 54

Overflowing trash cans

Needs more next tee signs - recommend a course map for the first-timer

Course is mostly flat

Long walk back to the parking lot after finishing the last hole

Course can get crowded at times as it's popular with the locals

Not in the best of neighborhoods but I haven't experienced nor seen any criminal activity there

I enjoyed playing this course in Dekalb County as it's the only one that has 18 holes. This is one of the oldest courses in metro Atlanta and the baskets do show their age...but they still catch well. I don't think anything has changed with this course after I started playing here several years ago. This course that's "frozen in time" is referred by locals as "God's Country" and it's popular and can be crowded at times. This course will test your skills where you can throw some bombs as well as work on your technical game. There are some shallow creeks throughout the course that can add another dimension if you get too aggressive. A mostly flat par 54 course that will leave you wanting some more. If you're in the Atlanta area, this is a good classic course to play.

Not crowded
Easy to navigate
Signage on 16 of 18 holes
Variety of terrains
Ace runs & challenging holes
Large parking lot
Rough/out-of-bounds not disc eaters

No signage on 2 of 18 holes
Old signs--many holes designated par 4 or 5 that "aren't."
Thorns & vines in some rough
Getting there--navigating Atlanta area

Fun course. Ego builder even though you know better -- Course was obviously "parred" YEARS ago. It'll give beginners a good score if they use the course designations -- lots of par 4's. Only one hole on the course deserves a 4 rating, and it is currently designated as a par 5! Signage is not great, but is helpful to locate the blind baskets. A local was landscaping a bit when I was there (a tournament is scheduled for the next day), friendly and proud of "his" course! There are better maintained courses in the area, but this one is fun and a throwback to earlier days!

1. Large sign at entrance to parking that lets you know you are in the correct place.
2. Nice park. A pleasant place to be.
3. Nice mix of open, semi-open, and forested holes.
4. Concrete T-Pads.
5. Trash cans distributed at various places around course.
6. We had a great time, even with the cons.

1. Some trash cans were overflowing as if they had not been emptied in 6 months.
2. It appears that the course floods during heavy rain.
3. Many T-signs missing making it difficult to determine if you are actually in the correct T-Box. (See Con #4.)
4. Absolutely no signage guiding a person from the Pin to the next T-box.
5. T-signs offered up to 4 pin placements and distances, but there was no indication as to which of the pin placements was actually being used.
6. T-signs offered only one par. Some of the holes were marked as par 4 when there was no way the pin placement, the day we played, was a par 4 (way to short).
7. Way too many blind shots, especially since the T-box signs didn't indicate where the pin was located. This resulted in a lot of walking down fairways to locate the pin then walking back to the T-box.
8. We didn't see any bathroom facilities.

First time playing Redan after hearing from several people how nice a course it is. No one in our group had ever played the course before. It was a weekday so it was very uncrowded and there was almost no one to ask for guidance around the course.

I read several reviews prior to playing that mentioned the signage problem, so I printed a course map prior to playing. I thought the reviews about the signage were a little harsh at first. Although there was no guidance from pin to the next T-Box it was pretty easy to see the next T-box from the pin for the first 6 holes. The first 5 holes are fairly open so you could look around and see the next T-box. When we finished 6 we were in the forest and saw a T-box nearby. When we arrived, it was #13. Now it was time to dig out the map I had printed. Using it we were able to find #7, but not without difficulty. This was pretty much the case for the rest of the course. Get out the map to figure our which way to walk through the forest to find the next T-box.

This is an older course (25 years) and looks like it was awesome when it was at its peak. Now lack of upkeep has left it lacking a lot. However, people who play this course frequently probably don't even notice the lack of signage. In other words, it's a pretty darn nice course if you know your way around.

T-pads are a bit narrow but I don't count this as a con since they were probably put there a long time ago when that was the norm.

T-box #10 had no sign and it wasn't even obvious which direction to throw. We were able to figure it out by referring tho the map ... once again.

Going from pin 14 to 15 T-box we encountered a fallen tree that looked like it may have been there for quite a while. It was necessary to step over the tree. Then you have to cross a bridge that was falling apart and potentially someone could fall through and injure themselves.

I don't know who is responsible for or allowed to do course maintenance or signage repair and placement. However, if I were a local, I would at least get a can of spray paint to paint T-box numbers on the T-pads for those that are missing signs. Maybe get permission to drive something like a Gator around the course to empty trash cans. Also, get permission to put up some navigation arrows. Finally, devise some means to mark the T-signs with the current pin placement and par for that placement.

That said: would I play it again? Absolutely. A little maintenance and improvements and this course would rate a 4 or higher.

Lots of hole Variety
mostly upkept course
Lots of long holes with plenty of range
no unduly hard holes

Horrible Signage with 4 possible hole locations and no indication of where the correct hole is.
Baskets need to be painted bright so they stand out in the Georgia woodland.
At least 5 different times I had to walk 3/4 way down the hole to get eyes on the basket.

The course will be much better on 2nd and 3rd times through but navigation was not easy. I think some neon Spray paint and some new updated Signage with par/distance info would make it at least a disc higher rated

- course laid out very well, with a mixture of open and technical holes.
- each hole is challenging, and there are no unfair holes.
- no long walks between holes.
- map shows four possible basket locations for each hole, giving a good variety in distances and shot-shaping, keeping the course fresh.
- course not heavily trafficked, even on a beautiful Spring day.
- grass was mowed, trash was cleaned up.
- plenty of benches, even some tables at certain points.
- course is relatively flat with good footing on the paths and bridges over the creeks.
- tee boxes are concrete and in very good repair.
- this is an excellent course for first-timers to learn disc golf.

- signage. Missing signs on several tee boxes, others vandalized or spray-painted. Virtually no sings pointing to the next tee box. A map is an absolute necessity when navigating this course.
- baskets often are not visible from the tee, and there is no indicator of which of the four positions the basket is actually at.
- although in good shape, the tee boxes are narrow, and are raised above the surrounding ground. Folks using an "x-step" to throw may have difficulty.
- the mandatory on Hole #2 needs to be marked better.
- course and park are not in the best of neighborhoods.

The layout is very nice. The first tee is intimidating with a tunnel shot through foliage and a creek below, but once on the other side, it's all open through Hole #5, warming the player up nicely. Then it's into the woods for the technical lanes. All the lanes are fair with room to throw and shape shots.
The lack of signage is a major problem. Print out a map and bring it,. While the holes are in reasonable proximity, there are a few places where one can end up going to the wrong hole without knowing where the next hole is via a map.
When I went with my group on a weekend, we did not experience any security or safety concerns, and the park has youth leagues that are playing various sports. However, a friend went on a weekday, and was concerned about certain characters loitering in the parking lot and seemingly watching him. One should be aware of one's surroundings while in the neighborhood.
It might be a good idea to contact Dekalb County's Recreation Department and ask that some money be spent repairing signs and installing signs to mark the path to the next tee. Added to my own letter to them, it might cause them to take action to improve the course, which would be a really great thing.

Great mix of trees and open shots. Challenging.

Not very well maintained... Dekalb County just doesn't seem to care about it. The signage is old and outdated. The course is not well marked.

This is the very first course I played in Georgia, so it will always be special to me. Great group of players frequent the course. However, keep your valuable out of sight in your car... this is Dekalb, after all! ;-)

This is probably my favorite course in the Atlanta area.
* Great mix of wooded/open shots, especially on the front 9.
* Easy navigation (except on hole 6 to 7).
* Low traffic, so it's easy to get a round in, even on a beautiful day.
* Well manicured grass.
* Great place to bring people interested in the game but haven't played. Very beginner friendly, but not too easy either.
* Concrete tee pads.

* Signs have been defaced with graffiti. Not really the courses fault, but still sucks.
* A couple of the baskets on the back 9 are close to each other, so you aren't sure where to throw if you aren't familiar with the layout.
* A touch ghetto, but not too bad.
* Some trash spread out near the tee boxes.
* Far from Atlanta, which again, isn't the course's fault and I'm not deducting any stars for it, but still an issue if you are in the Atlanta area.
* Hole 18 is a little too easy.
* A few holes could use some new baskets.

This is a great course, and probably my go-to when I want to get a round in. Nice mix of challenging/easy shots.

Only improvements I could see are adding amateur/pro tee-boxes, more benches, and more trash/recycling cans on the holes.

Cool course with multiple pin locations that allow for a lot of playability. Good mix of woods and open shots with the in-between type holes as well.

Current pin locations create a lot of repetitive shots that could be changed by switching a few holes. Hole 8 and 10 both missing baskets which really disappointed me considering the rating this course has. If those baskets were in place i would rate it higher.

I know this isn't the best review (i'm typing on an ipad) but i wanted to at least mention the missing baskets.

There is often little traffic at this course, which makes it one of the best courses in the ATL area to unleash your dog! For those of you without dogs, don't worry; this course still has something to offer. It is by no means the best course in Atlanta, but it is a very fun/easy course. On almost every hole, there are multiple pin locations, and they do get moved around from time to time which is always refreshing.

Many of the baskets need some repair/replacing, most of the teesigns have been vandalized, and can somebody please move hole 16 basket location!! (So boring in its short position). And while on the topic of pin locations, there are several that, IMHO, should be removed altogether as they can make an already easy course way too simple.

An extremely fun little course.

Solid teepads.

A very nice blend of shots, a true par 3 course that is neither extremely easy or overly challenging. It's fairly simple to shoot under par out here as long as you can throw your putters and midranges well.

Lots of vandalism as a result of not being in the best part of town.

The baskets are old and beat up.

This course is one of those courses for me where pro's & con's don't really jump out, but I can write in this section for a bit.

This is an old course, some of the pars for course par are listed as 4's and 5's but I think there's only a singular hole that may be a four when the pin is in its absolute longest position, and even then it may be a 3.

Although this isn't in the best area, I never felt unsafe. Previous reviewers have mentioned making sure to keep your doors locked and things of that nature, but I hope to god you do that no matter where you park your car. The area has improved since my first visit to the course with some newer construction popping up nearby.

The course has an extremely pleasant blend of shots. Some really cool holes out here. Hole #5 immediately comes to mind as one that starts out in the open and shoots into the woods with a pin placement that can definitely make you strategize off the tee on weather to gun for it or just play it smart.

The beginning of the course starts off more open until you shoot into the woods for the remainder. Due to it's short, wooded, and fun nature, this is the course I would recommend if you are in the area on a hot summer day.




Other Other Thought: There is a tee sign that has "Race War" written on it. How can you not play this course?

First 5 or 6 holes are really fun and interesting. They allow for gutsy technical shots or safe lay ups. These holes are also well groomed.

Once you get in the woods, good luck. The tee boxes are hard to find, the signs are either vandalized or missing, and the 10ft wide path in the middle of each hole is the only safe landing. Deviating from this 'landing strip' will have you bouncing off trees like a pinball and landing in very very thick brush. (If you're above average height, be prepared to walk through a ton of spider webs). Navigating from hole 8 to 9 is a joke, good luck. Trash cans are overflowing and usually surrounded by bees and other little critters.

The first third or so of this course is really the only fun part of the course. Holes 1-5 are five star. Beyond that, not fun at all.

Some fun shots
Nice tee pads
Good baskets
Scoring opportunities on a many holes

It was busy on a Saturday; nice folks though
Signage needs updating, some were missing which caused confusion.
Holes on top of each other. People looking for their discs from errant throws were in our way a few times.
Too close to football fields where children were playing

Way overrated

- nice scenic course with good concrete tee pads and detailed tee signs on each hole (except 8 & 9 as noted in other reviews).

- good mix of open/wooded with some really nice well defined fairways.

- lots of basket placements provide excellent change-up & replay value.

- wooded holes can be tight and technical but never "poke 'n pray".. There is a strategic line or multiple lines to the basket on each of the technical holes.

- Hole 9 cirlces back near the beginning of the course (near basket 2 / teepad 3)

- navigation is fairly easy as the walking paths between holes are nicely worn in and easily identifiable. I didn't need a map..

- lots of vandalism on tee signs and missing signs 8 & 9.

- Some baskets are a little close to others. I threw to the wrong basket on holes 10 & 18 but it's partially my fault because I should have noticed the number plate not looking at me. Upon walking up the fairway a bit I noticed the proper baskets and re-teed accordingly.

- I didn't get the impression that the area was as bad as some people have mentioned but I still exercised caution and made my wife 'n 5 yr old daughter walk the course with me. Afterwards my daughter played on the playground with a group of middle-class kids that were enjoying a birthday party at the park. I didnt' see any sketchy characters on my visit and plenty of other disc golfers were out enjoying the course.

I would definitely like to play here again someday.
